HANGER FARM ARTS CENTRE NIKKI KITT
Hanger Farm Arts Centre has enjoyed a brilliant, busy Summer Season, with many sell-out shows. The month of August, however, is our time for transforming our Theatre space into Wedding Receptions! If you have ever considered holding your Wedding Reception in an informal 18th Century Barn then consider Hanger Farm! We offer a very generous Wedding/Drinks Package, a photogenic setting, plenty of fairy lights & bunting, a technician, front of house & bar staff to make your Big Day go like clockwork! One piece of exciting building work has now been finished - the installation of AIR CONDITIONING! “Not before time!” we hear you cry. Our Autumn/Winter Season’s brochure should be hitting door mats, community spaces, cafes, shops etc very soon - at the printers as I write this. We have a tremendous line up - tribute bands, stand-up comedy, movies, Drama, Folk evenings, not to mention wall-to-wall Christmas shows throughout December. On 2nd September we start off with Bob Drury’s Viva Neil Diamond - the show includes all of the favourites such as Cracklin' Rosie, America, Love on the Rocks, Play Me, Hello Again, Forever in Blue Jeans, Beautiful Noise, I'm a Believer, Red Red Wine and of course Sweet Caroline as well as a couple of lesser known songs that are sure to become your favourites by the end of the evening. A fantastic evening guaranteed! Our first Movie Monday of the season on September 11th is Hidden Figures (PG) - the story of three brilliant African-American women at NASA - Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) who serve as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that galvanized the world A complete change of pace on 15th September - LDN Wrestling live events cele-
brating 14 years of Britain's top promoters are coming for an explosive night of action bringing a host of top American wrestling stars to face the very best of home grown favourites in a two hour rip roaring entertainment for all the family. On 21st September we have our second Tribute night - the superb Steely Scam (See opposite)! The following night, September 22nd, come and enjoy the first in our Folk Line-up Jamie Smith’s MABON - a very warm welcome for one of the most highly accomplished and critically acclaimed Celtic roots music bands in Britain today. An irresistible blend of world music and Celtic roots, filled with energy, joy and passion. On 29th September we have the hilarious Paul Foot, with his stand up show ‘Tis A Pity She’s a Piglet! The multi-award winning Mr Foot has appeared on numerous TV and Radio programmes including Never Mind The Buzzcocks & Would I Lie To You.
Our final show in September is a firm favourite at Hanger Farm - Purple Zeppelin on September 30th. They blow the roof off every time we have them, so we couldn’t wait to invite them back again with their New Show! This time, the first set is played 'Unplugged' on acoustic instruments, comprising well known songs from both bands. Then, in the second set, they plug in for all the classic hits. Voted Best Tribute Band of 2015 and featured in the BBC TV documentary “The Joy of the Guitar Riff” Purple Zeppelin pay tribute to two of the greatest Rock Bands of all time, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin in a “full on” two and a half hour show complete with costume changes, you’ll hear more than 30 classic songs! Throughout September the Hanger Farm Barn Boutique will make a popular return. Local crafters, makers and artists will be taking over Hanger Farm’s delightful foyer space to bring you a whole range of unique pieces and quirky gift ideas to purchase. Why not start your Christmas shopping early, or even treat yourself to a one-off work of art, a cosy wrap, handmade cards, jewellery or handbag!

UK’s TOP STEELY DAN tribute return to Hanger farm In the professional rock music world it is almost impossible to find an artist that doesn’t admire or admit to being influenced by the music of Steely Dan. So don’t miss this rare chance to catch the band which in our opinion captures them better than any other. All long-time fans of the iconic USA band, Steely Scam consists of some of Southampton’s most illustrious musicians in Pete Smith (guitar/vocals), Simon Tilley (drums/vocals), Ray Drury (keyboards), Bob Philips (bass/lead vocals), and son of Pete, Chris Smith on guitar & vocals. “He’s better than me” says his dad, “but don’t tell him I said so!” They are joined on stage for the night by the superb ‘Division Horns’ brass sec-
tion and the fabulous Odette Adams (catch up with Odette at www.musicbyodette.co.uk) on vocals and percussion, you can expect to hear polished recreations of all your favourite Dan tracks, played with outstanding attention to detail. Covering all the classic Dan material from Do It Again to Jack of Speed, Bodhisattva to Doctor Wu, Steely Scam is a must for all Dan fans and music lovers.
Far more than yet another ‘Tribute’ band, Steely Scam is a showpiece for the cool, complex and intellectual music of Steely Dan. If you only get to see one tribute band this year, do yourself a favour - make it this one!
